He was supposed to be a one-night stand . . . but it turned out to be the best sex of my life. Still, I wasn't looking for anything serious. I snuck out thinking I'd never see him again. Wrong. Imagine my surprise when I run into him a few weeks later at a Christmas party hosted by my best friend's father. Turns out, Elias Carter is the Don of the QBM—the Queensboro Mob—and I've become his new obsession.

Cultural Christianity is collapsing. The church is losing influence. Opposition is rising. Good. Because hostile times don’t weaken the Church—they ignite it. From the blood-soaked arenas of Rome to the underground house churches of China, from the flames of the Reformation to the pressure of the modern West, Grace Under Fire reveals a stunning truth: persecution has never destroyed God’s people. It has only made them stronger.

The war is already over. Christ has won. So why does life still feel like a battlefield? Do you struggle with guilt that won't let go? Circumstances that make you doubt God's love? Temptations that feel impossible to resist? You're not losing your mind. You're experiencing spiritual warfare. But here's what most Christians don't understand: You're not fighting to win a victory—you're standing in a victory already won.

Most people have normal, boring jobs. Not me. I kill for a living. I'm a hitman for the Queensboro Mob, and I'm on a path of vengeance, vowing to destroy my rival, the leader of the Empire mafia and the most powerful man in New York City. But I find myself distracted by my beautiful neighbor. I hate her. I want her. I've become obsessed with her. I want to know everything about her. Then I want to make her mine.

When life comes apart—when you're facing the unthinkable, drowning in circumstances beyond your control, or so overwhelmed you can barely breathe—the last thing you need is pressure to pray "correctly." What if God actually prefers your honest desperation over your polite performance? In Bold Before His Throne, you'll discover the most raw, unfiltered prayers in Scripture—and find permission to bring your real self before God's throne of grace.

Joy isn’t a mood. It’s a war cry. Happiness is flimsy. It cracks under pressure, vanishes with bad news, and leaves you chasing the next fix. But joy? That’s different. Joy sings behind prison bars, prays in hospital rooms, and laughs in the face of suffering—not because life is easy, but because Christ is enough. Paul wrote the words "Rejoice Always" from a Roman prison. His secret wasn’t optimism. It was Christ—anchoring him when everything else was torn away. This book isn’t another self-help guide peddling five steps to a better life.

God Blood tells the backstory of how Jesus Christ’s Blood became a cosmic “hot potato” between the forces of good and evil. From the second monsters steal it at the Cross, the Blood is pursued by everyone from flesh-eating monsters & a hell bound witch… to greedy vampires & deranged Nazi rapists… to a drunk nun, a zit-riddled Predator-turned-superhero, and even Bigfoot himself.

You’re trying hard to do all the right things, but deep down you’re still exhausted, disconnected, and wondering if closeness with God is always going to feel just out of reach. In each episode, Jason & Elizabeth have raw, story-driven conversations to help you rest in the reconciled person you already are in Christ. We’ll include space to slow down, listen, and encounter God right where you are. Are you ready to stop striving, start hearing God in the moment, and occupy your true self? This show is for anyone craving freedom, wholeness, and a settled identity.

This final Enoch Wars chapter puts Azriel Creed face to face with the Devil. But Lucifer doesn’t want to fight Azriel — the world’s most powerful being. He wants to help him destroy all the world’s remaining monsters by harnessing the dark energies pent up in his blood-line for over 800 years. But as the young Predator quickly finds out, when bargaining with the Prince of Darkness, the price is steep, and there’s no escaping his unholy debt.

Karla and Lila are teen sisters growing up on the east side of Atlanta during the 1990s crack epidemic. They are the daughters of a mother affected by the epidemic. After their mother mysteriously disappears, with no father around, and being raised by an older woman that goes by the name Mama B, the girls have to learn and fight hard to maneuver and succeed in life.

My life has been a whirlwind of heartbreak, beginning with the death of my brother when I was 18-years-old. He was my best friend. I worked through my grief by writing a book about his life and that book was turned into a movie.

It’s been nine months since Azriel defeated the werewolf king. Since then, he’s been hiding from monsters. He works a boring job stocking shelves in an office supply store. He verbally abuses the customers for his amusement. He enjoys a content life he hasn’t had since first working as a monster bounty hunter for the government.

In a "hurried-up" world obsessed with image and presentation to impress people instead of blessing people, entertaining the notion of entertaining is tough. Could it be in our rush to entertain, we've sacrificed meaningful connection? Maybe there's a better welcome to be discovered.

Three best friends from wildly different backgrounds tell stories about their lives. They're almost always hilarious, usually crazy, and sometimes intense.

It's been nearly two decades since I lost the love of my life and I'm still struggling to move on. My grief plays on a perpetual cycle, and every time I think I’m ready to move forward—bam—something new throws me back into the depths of it. The latest hit comes in the form of a movie being made about the inspiring life my fiancé lived. Things go from bad to worse when the actor cast to play him waltzes into my bar, begging me to help him with the role. “Help me become Tyler Taylor.”

Jewell McDunn solves one problem—where to live when her daughter’s boyfriend takes over the apartment—and becomes entangled in a much more deadly one. When her barista friends hook her up with a room in one of Miwok town’s prestigious Victorian mansions—the scene of a grisly, unsolved murder—Jewell is forced to placate the spirit of the murdered woman in order to get a good night’s sleep.

His prey is the near-invulnerable werewolf king Fenris—a mafia boss and business tycoon with the police, politicians, churches, and hundreds of other monsters on his payroll. To get to Fenris, Azriel has to infiltrate its downtown Chicago Tower, and fight in a kill-or-be-killed match with the world’s most vicious monsters. Azriel’s only help is his grief-stricken and drunken father-in-law Roper, and the eccentric talk show host Gibson—a former member of The Order who is being haunted by a sadistic sex demon.

Somewhere on the desolate moors of Victorian England sits a monolithic black house. It is not merely a haunted mansion, but a yawning gateway unto the chaotic evil of the cosmos. Emmaline Heath, a dark-haired young woman fleeing a tortured past, is sent to live in its monstrous wings under the care of her godfather Carax Hillam.

Azriel Creed is having a baby—and he’s horrified. He senses something fiendish and diabolical about his unborn child. Even the sonogram suggests a devilish grin on its lips—as if it’s scheming to commit murder and genocide fresh out of the womb. Is it connected to Azriel’s dark destiny as Lucifer’s favorite? Or just a result of his unholy Predator heritage? Meanwhile, a creature of pure evil created by Nimrod when the Tower of Babel was built awakens in a cold basement. An evil that eats monsters, Predators, and people alike.
